For me it's not a bad winter to date, BUT if I am shut out the rest of the winter than yes I would consider this a bad winter.
Definitely not a ratter or terrible winter, but bad IMO.
Thanks for this. Do you think we have a decent shot at reaching phases 7 and 8 by mid March? The MJO wave according to forecast seems to be moving faster.
That was terrible.
Had 58 inches and thought had a shot at my seasonal record of 92 inches in 96. Three snowstorms lined up in March with the first one pegged for 16 inches.
All three storms shoved south.
It will all come down to the EPO. If we can get what that shows then we will at least have cold. We will NEED a stronger SE ridge to avoid suppression.
Agreed. What's odd is I feel like March has been very snowy last 12 years as compared to December. Odd as temps have risen.
Conscious that some parts of the southern southwestern sub forum may argue otherwise.
One late 90s winter had perfect coastal tracks all winter but all rain due to absolutely no cold air.
Thinking we had a strong neg NAO but EPO was strongly positive.
